Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Inductance Self-Inductance –A time-varying current in a circuit produces an induced emf opposing the emf that initially set up the time varying current. Basis of the electrical circuit element called an inductor –Energy is stored in the magnetic field of an inductor. –There is an energy density associated with the magnetic field. Mutual Inductance –An emf is induced in a coil as a result of a changing magnetic flux produced by a second coil. Circuits may contain inductors as well as resistors and capacitors.

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Some Terminology Use the terms emf and current when they are caused by batteries or other sources. Use the terms induced emf and induced current when they are caused by changing magnetic fields. In problems in electromagnetism, it is important to distinguish between the two situations.

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Self-Inductance Consider the circuit in the figure. When the switch is closed, the current does not immediately reach its maximum value. Faraday’s Law of Induction can be used to describe this. As the current increases with time, the magnetic flux through the circuit loop due to this current also increases with time. This increasing flux creates an induced emf in the circuit.

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. The direction of the induced emf is such that it would cause an induced current in the loop which would establish a magnetic field opposing the change in the original magnetic field. Lenz’s Law at work! The direction of the induced emf is opposite the direction of the emf of the battery. This results in a gradual increase in the current to its final equilibrium value. This effect is called self-inductance. –Because the changing flux through the circuit & the resultant induced emf arise from the circuit itself. The emf ε L is called a self-induced emf.

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Self-Inductance An induced emf is always proportional to the time rate of change of the current. –By Faraday’s Law, the induced emf is proportional to the flux, which is proportional to the field and the field is proportional to the current. –So, we can write: L is a constant of proportionality called the (self) inductance of the coil. – It depends on the geometry of the coil and other physical characteristics.

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. An important aspect of Faraday’s Law is: A changing current in a coil will induce an emf in itself: L is called the self-inductance: Self-Inductance Note: This is the same as  L. Sorry!

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Conceptual Example Direction of emf in inductor. Current passes through a coil from left to right as shown. (a) If the current is increasing with time, in which direction is the induced emf? (b) If the current is decreasing in time, what then is the direction of the induced emf?

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. A circuit consisting of an inductor and a resistor will begin with most of the voltage drop across the inductor, as the current is changing rapidly. With time, the current will increase less and less, until all the voltage is across the resistor. LR Circuits

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Example : An LR circuit. At t = 0, a 12.0-V battery is connected in series with a 220- mH inductor and a total of 30-Ω resistance, as shown. (a) What is the current at t = 0? (b) What is the time constant? (c) What is the maximum current? (d) How long will it take the current to reach half its maximum possible value? (e) At this instant, at what rate is energy being delivered by the battery, and (f) at what rate is energy being stored in the inductor’s magnetic field?

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. The sum of potential differences around the loop gives Integrating gives the current as a function of time: The time constant of an LR circuit is...

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Mutual Inductance: A changing current in one coil will induce a current in a second coil: & vice versa. Note that the constant M, known as the mutual inductance, is has the form: Mutual Inductance

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. A transformer is an example of a practical application of mutual inductance.

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Solenoid and coil. A long thin solenoid of length l and cross- sectional area A contains N 1 closely packed turns of wire. Wrapped around it is an insulated coil of N 2 turns. Assume all the flux from coil 1 (the solenoid) passes through coil 2, and calculate the mutual inductance.

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Conceptual Example: Reversing the coils. How would the previous Example change if the coil with turns was inside the solenoid rather than outside the solenoid?

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Just as we saw that energy can be stored in an electric field, energy can be stored in a magnetic field as well, in an inductor, for example. Analysis shows that the energy density of the field is given by Energy Stored in a Magnetic Field

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. LC Circuits & Electromagnetic Oscillations An LC circuit is a charged capacitor shorted through an inductor.

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Summing the potential drops around the circuit gives a differential equation for Q: This is the equation for simple harmonic motion, and has solutions..

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Substituting shows that the equation can only be true for all times if the frequency is given by The current is sinusoidal as well:

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. The charge and current are both sinusoidal, but with different phases.

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. The total energy in the circuit is constant; it oscillates between the capacitor and the inductor:

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Example: LC circuit. A 1200-pF capacitor is fully charged by a 500-V dc power supply. It is disconnected from the power supply and is connected, at t = 0, to a 75-mH inductor. Determine: (a) the initial charge on the capacitor; (b) the maximum current; (c) the frequency f and period T of oscillation; and (d) the total energy oscillating in the system.
